Volunteers used story lines, illustrations, characters, and settings from children’s books to work their decorating magic on more than 30 trees for “Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature.” Four books by honorary chairs and mother-and-daughter authors, Jane Yolen and Heidi E.

The Globe's top picks for what to see and do each weekend, in Boston and beyond.

Blues in the night You know the drill after all these years: There’s a poncho section where the brave don a provided covering for protection from edible and washable materials that go flying from the Blue Man Group. Strobe lights are used. Have fun with the ping-pong-ball-tossing guys. 8 p.m. (ongoing). $55-$105 (under 5 not admitted). Charles Playhouse, 74 Warrenton St., Boston. 800-745-3000. www.ticketmaster.com

Sincerely The group exhibit “On Sincerity” wants to bridge the gap between viewer and artwork through four narratives about its theme of sincerity: materials as means and content; the work as a tool to build relationships; artists’ bodies to express intimacy, vulnerability, or the complexity of human relationships; self-reflexive forms of communication. Go see for yourself. Tuesday hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. (through Dec. 16). Free. 808 Gallery at Boston University, 808 Commonwealth Ave., Boston. 617-353-3349. www.bu.edu/cfa

WEDNESDAY

Prime suspect At age 13, Robbert van de Corput started to DJ (sounds like a bar mitzvah gig to us . . .), and it’s been full steam ahead for the 20-something Netherlands producer, label manager, and award-winning electro-house record spinner. You know him as Hardwell. Nov. 21 from 10 p.m.- 2 a.m. $40. 21+. Umbria Prime, 295 Franklin St., Boston. 617-800-3604. www.umbriaprime.com
